Installing a tile floor can be a difficult remodeling project. Flooring is a project that can not happen overnight as it takes time for good preparation of the soil and place the new tiles. Purchase of a home-design software package is a good way to start. Most have a section about laying tile. Although the program does not really prepare the ground and lay the tile for you, it can help you visualize the final result and avoid mistakes on the road. You will find useful tools, suchDesign alternatives, help with measurements and advice on dealing with glue and cutting tile, among other topics.
Select the disk for your floors accorder your style taste, but remember, some of the differences in the options available. Stone and slate tiles are beautiful in appearance, but generally higher than ceramic tile prices. Stone and slate tiles also require sealing once the project is finished, to prevent staining and enable a simplerCleaning.

Please note, however, that over time it can cause warping and soft spots under the tile cracks experience. If you have a concrete surface, check to confirm that there are no highlights. This can be found with a 2 x 4, but a straight enough is being done is often a challenge. You can, bytwo boards and put them against each other. Turn on a board around 180 degrees and place it against the other board. So you can see if the board simply curved in the same direction, rather than straight. If there are high points in your concrete surface, you can use a coarse belt or disc Sander so smoothly from these places. Small imperfections can be easily removed to be hard chiseled careful not to aggravate the situation.
No surface is perfectly flat, but a bump or highlocally in the area more than a sixteenth of an inch can lead to loose tiles, or "rocking". Since the tiles are glued, they are not really rotate in position to lead the pressure differences across the floor in tears during the use of the land. It is important that the floor surfaces are strong enough to prevent the bending that would lead to the same "rocking" problem. Uneven ground can be strengthened and smoothed with a cement-fiber boardor determine a composite cross the surface with a broad, flat tool.
Prior to the application of adhesive to permanently lay the tiles in place, dry lay a few rows of tiles to get a feel for the tile pattern. Experiment with spacing for the grout and floor design. Once the pattern and spacing is determined, you can use the glue to set the tiles.
